I think It is mandatory for us to be critical about what see, think, hear, and are taught...

but we must be angels, or saints of action..

If we dislike or do not trust information given and told by us, it becomes our responsibility to be like a gardener so to speak

and on another note sort of.....

uproot the weed ( misinformation, teachings) and plant in its place new growth...

what I see people doing is working to cut down what others use, and depend on daily for growth, strength..

but not giving the people anything with substance to nurture and feed upon...(live by)

so I think when we try to dismantle say, christianity for example* a religion folks have harvested as their daily bread, shade and comfort, we dont think of the time and investment they themselves who practice and live by it, have put into place to work through the thorns, thistles, and weeds (racism, falsehoods,) before bringing it into their homes, (family, life, practices)*...

and stomping through ones garden, totally trying to uproot, and dig out what many have tested and have found suitable for their diet, can be seen as an attack rather than looked at as us trying to help improve, their garden....

weeds may take many apearances and to an untrained eye poisonous mushrooms as well as poison ivey may take on a pleasing appearance to the eye, but have detrimental ramifications.

As anyonw who plans a backyard or community garden has an understanding that trees that provide shadeare usefull, folks do understand the benfit of both politics and religion to the lives of millions in our ommunity, but if we are to govern ourselves and depend upon our own, are we to accept exploitative behavior from those who seek our trust?
In terms of politics do we make a politician week or strong by sitting by and saying nothing while those who desire to rape nd pillage the community pay them to serve their intersts as opposed to the intersts of the community?
If we play "The Emperor's New Clothes" with any politician or clergy who is going astray how do we help them stengthen their concience?

And if there are those who have no concience at all, is not the process of politics to find other means of survival until the incumbent is out of office, and a better replace them or make enough noise to make ones demands heard, as in the case of Nixon and the Vietnm war.

In a dictatorship like many of our nations in th Motherland, dictators propped up by European interests,
thrive on the ability to not be criticized as well as keeping the public ignorant,
as in no public schools and no freedom of the press, therefore are we to believe that such a system should be utilized here as well?

well I will have to say, that people even those of us who claim to walk, and talk the good fight.....screw up.

this is where I think a very powerful hand can be played in and to our benefit, we know of those who are quick to step in, and stake claim as our collective voice, and who parade as agent of change, but where were we when these so called titles were being given, they do seem hand picked many of them, but by whom? I am a believer that what we need is a system set up by our folks that work not to totally abolish laws within the government* since I believe in the basic structures*, but to establish one among ourselves

not in place of, but aside from...

I would be with us electing our own community leaders, conducting a census, and be represented by individuals who we put in as leaders ourselves.

It is long overdue for fresh blood and new, more in tune, and fearless unpaid for,...

Leadership.

So it may be that unless we have our own community based officials*out with the new old ways, and in with the old yet new ways*... we run the high risk, of old time corruptors waiting in the wings, to be given their sqwacking calls to settle the masses who are fed up with what goes down, and are demanding justice.

In terms of politics do we make a politician week or strong by sitting by and saying nothing while those who desire to rape nd pillage the community pay them to serve their intersts as opposed to the intersts of the community?

we make him, or her weak...the bottom line, as long as they are on a payroll, they are going to do and say what the bossman will allow... this is why I frown heavily on those who sit in the best place, yet are suppose to speak for, yet rarely visit, or spend, or invest in the communities of which they began being the voice of...

well alot is distractions, too, so where a story is first heard about with truth, information becomes so screwed up, names become changed, stories, and places, that the public over there become weary and confused to the point that they no longer care to follow up...

I hope we dont let this happen, yet I could imagine, it may have been discussed...

Criticizing is part of growth long as it is apply with respect
blacks in somewhat power or as ruler /owner are held to da standard as saints
we respect he/she as well accordly with peaceful harmless criticizing.

It is a delicate balance...a fine line between blind trust of any minority and automatic suspicion of any minority in power. People aren't really ALL good or ALL bad anyway. We all have our flaws, and sometime we need to have them pointed out to us so they we can grow (hopefully) in the right direction.
